Kirsty MacColl's tragic death 25 years ago has reignited allegations of a "cover-up," with fresh claims the circumstances surrounding the beloved singer's passing remain clouded in mystery.
MacColl, best known for Fairytale of New York, was killed by a speedboat off the coast of Cozumel, Mexico, on December 18, 2000 – just a week before Christmas.
She was protecting her two sons, Jamie and Louis, then aged 15 and 14.
The singer’s ex-husband and father of her sons, producer Steve Lillywhite, has now publicly accused billionaire Guillermo Gonzalez Nova – once one of Mexico’s richest men – of orchestrating the crash to avoid a costly lawsuit.
